Requirements

• Node.js
• Optional: docker & docker-compose

Development

$ yarn dev
# run in development

$ yarn start
# run in production

$ yarn lint
# check for errors

$ yarn fix
# fix any errors

$ yarn test
# run tests

Running tests locally

Most tests are ran using our CI (GitHub Actions), but to replicate testing, run the following:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.ci.yml up -d
# should download the images and run them in their respective ports

$ export $(cat .env.testing) && npm run test
# inject the testing env vars and run tests
